Utilizing a rudimentary vocabulary, the images I work with allude to familiar objects, scenarios, and spaces. By presenting a shifting set of variables (shifting space through figure-ground relationships or shifting contexts through references to perspective, windows, screens, orstage sets) the viewer is invited to reflect upon their relationship with an image as a mediated form. My method of composing an image is often similar to linguistic play, and I consider visual rhyme, malapropism, and monosyllabicity in my process. My decision-making is prompted by the pursuit of images that suggest a lot, but say little, that give at the same time as they take, that vacillate between the nonsensical and the transcendental, the profound and the trivial.
